Chapter 444: Strike first to gain the upper hand
"I..." An Zhihan was stunned for a moment after hearing Su Qing's words. He wanted to say that he thought the An family's money was dirty and didn't want to touch it.
"What do you mean by you?" Su Qing didn't wait for An Zhihan to finish, and said in rapid succession: "Do you think that because you are noble and disdainful, the other party will repent and change their ways? Do you think that if you don't touch the An family's money, the other party will be at peace? If the other party is at peace, how did you get hurt this time? Are you stupid? Besides, you have a part of the An family's money. Those people not only have to give it to you, but also compensate you."
"You are secretly sad and suffering from illness in Xiyuan County, but people in Xiangcheng are living a comfortable life." Su Qing continued, "If I were you, I would not only turn the An family upside down, but also make them pay double for their sins. They would have to pay me back double for what they have eaten and owed me."
"Young Master." Fang Lutian leaned on the hospital bed and said to An Zhihan, "Miss Su Qing is right. You have been tortured by illness for so many years. Have the eldest and second masters ever felt a little guilty? They still feel wronged and say that they didn't mean to do this at the beginning and everything was just an accident."
Speaking of An Lizheng and An Likang's attitudes, Fang Lutian felt chilled. He could only hate that the old lady and the old man had tried to stop them in every way, saying that they had to consider family ties. In addition, An Zhihan was too young and seriously injured to resist, which made them feel very aggrieved.
However, over the years, the young master and they have been secretly accumulating strength. Although they may not be able to compete with the An family yet, this time the An family has taken action, they say they can no longer sit and wait for death. Even if they have to die together, they must seek justice.
Old Master Gong listened to what the others said, and felt something was not right. He frowned and asked, "What are you talking about? You said the people who attacked us this time are from the Xiangcheng An family?"
At this point, Su Qing felt that there was no need to hide anything from Mr. Gong. After all, Mr. Gong was also a victim and had the right to know who had harmed him.
"Yes, the other party all have the accent of Guangzhou City. They should be the people from the An family in Xiangcheng." Su Qing nodded.
Mr. Gong was so angry that he pounded the bed with his hands: "They are so bold that they dare to use knives to kill people in broad daylight."
"They have done a lot of daring things." Su Qing said, "Grandpa, have you forgotten about Beilin? That was a good deed done by An Zhiwei."
Mr. Gong took a deep breath, thought for a while, and then said, "I think the reason they sent people here to harm people this time is probably related to the fact that Zhihan might recover this time."
"Huh?" Su Qing was stunned for a moment: "Are they afraid that An Zhihan will recover? So they strike first?"
"That's my guess." Old Master Gong said, "You probably don't know yet why those two beasts An Lizheng and An Likang are so filial to my cousin. Maybe it's partly out of filial piety, but more because my cousin is still the one who actually controls the An family. My cousin once told me that if she and Old Master An died suddenly without making a will, then everything in the An family would be donated to charity. In other words, those two little beasts An Lizheng and An Likang would get nothing except the house they live in and the shares and money they have."
Mr. Gong’s words stunned everyone. They didn’t expect that Mrs. An had such a trick.
Old Master Gong said, "My cousin feels guilty, but her two sons are not cut out for business. Not only do they have poor vision, they are also very greedy. They only care about immediate benefits and don't consider the long-term at all. Including An Zhiqian, my cousin is not very satisfied with him. But my cousin said that Zhihan is a good businessman."
An Zhihan: ...
Old Master Gong glanced at An Zhihan and said, "You are doing black market business in Xiyuan County. Do you think your grandmother doesn't know?"
"What!" An Zhihan and Fang Lutian were both stunned. They had always done this business in private and thought it was very secretive. How come...
"Your grandmother knew about your black market business, including the ways you made money over the years, so she thought you were a talented businessman. However, you have never forgiven the An family and are unwilling to return to the An family, so she has been controlling the An family. She made this decision because she felt guilty about you and your parents, and she was also dissatisfied with the business skills of your eldest uncle and second uncle."
An Zhihan pursed his lips. He knew that his grandmother felt guilty towards him, but he could not get over it. When his parents were plotted against by his uncle and second uncle, although she protected him, she also insisted that family disgrace should not be made public. She only gave minor punishments to his uncle and second uncle, and did not seek justice for him and his parents at all.
Just like Su Qing said, his parents died in unclear circumstances and he couldn't even get justice for them.
When Su Qing heard Mr. Gong talking about the black market again, she was completely stunned. She looked at An Zhihan and said, "The person behind the black market in Xiyuan County... is you?"
"Yes." An Zhihan nodded: "You have also been to the black market in Xiyuan County? You should tell me so that I can help you."
An Zhihan always felt that Su Qing was not short of money and never associated Su Qing with going to the black market, so he never told Su Qing about the black market.
"Ah, I've been there once or twice. I went to take a look out of curiosity." Su Qing said hurriedly. She had disguised herself when she went to the black market, and even Zhang Erlai didn't recognize her. However, she remembered what Zhang Er had said before, that the person behind the scenes liked her mushrooms very much. It seems that the person behind the scenes was An Zhihan. He liked mushrooms because the mushrooms had been in her space for a long time and were contaminated with green mist.
An Zhihan smiled faintly and said, "The whole environment has improved now. I am also slowly reducing my business in the black market. Most of the industries have gradually moved to the open market. If you need anything in the future, tell me and I will find it for you."
Su Qing smiled and said, “Okay, I will definitely trouble you in the future.”
"You don't have to be polite to me."
"Okay, I won't be polite with you."
Then, Su Qing brought the topic back to the topic: "So, the people in the An family are afraid that after An Zhihan's leg is healed, he will go back to fight with them for the family property or even start to retaliate against them?"
"It might be because of this." Mr. Gong raised his eyebrows slightly and said to Su Qing, "Do you still remember the time when we met An Zhiqian when we went to the An family's old house?"
Su Qing nodded.
Mr. Gong said, "An Zhiqian saw us at the An family's old house, so there's no way he wouldn't investigate behind the scenes. If he finds out why we went to the An family's old house, what do you think they will do?"
